Patrick Chaplin: Dart Players Profiles

Andy Fordham

Andy Fordham is recovering at home with the support of his wife Jenny and children Raymond and Emily, following a mild stroke.

Andy was taken ill during the 2007 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships in January and following hospitalisation had been making a steady recovery.

“Andy is one of the most popular players and personalities in darts”, says Olly Croft of the BDO, “and we all want to see him back where he belongs – on the oche playing the type of darts that earned him the Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship title in 2004”.

“He is such a huge and well-loved character that he and the family not only have the support of the BDO, but also the worldwide support of everyone in darts.”
